Mayo Medical School and Mayo Graduate School of Medicine, in collaboration with the Mayo Comprehensive Cancer Center, are joining to study and assess and continue to develop cancer education here for medical students, residents, and advanced trainees. We plan to identify specific cancer education objectives for each training level, to assess our current success in accomplishing these objectives and to determine what is being taught at each level more globally. We will develop plans for any improvements needed and introduce any modifications in current curricula and programs required. We will evaluate this program on a continuing basis and attempt to assess our accomplishments over time with the intent of publishing a formal analysis of our cancer education program as it existed before, during and after the development of this special cancer education emphasis.
